Summer School Theme
Data Stewardship
Data stewardship is defined as the process and attitudes that makes one deal responsibly with one’s own and other
people data throughout and after the initial scientific creation and discovery cycle. FAIR data are data which meet standards of findability,
accessibility, interoperability, and reusability. A data steward, or data curator, is a person responsible for overseeing the lifecycle activities
of a set of data. Currently, adequate skills are lacking and new roles are needed for support services.
The Summer School aims to train junior scientists, support services staff and librarians in implementing the FAIR principles for research
data & software management. The focus will be on the FAIR principles related to interoperability and re-using research data. Participant will acquire
knowledge, expertise and practical experience in achieving the following outcomes:
● Planning a Research outputs management campaign.
● Reusing research data for the full research lifecycle.

Arrival Info: How to reach Parma
● Airport -> shuttle bus (or taxi) to railway station -> train to Parma railway station -> taxi (or city bus) in Parma. As an alternative, visitors can rent a car at the airport and then reach Parma directly.
● The closest airports are Bologna and Milan Linate. Milan Malpensa and Milan-Bergamo Orio al Serio are quite farther. From any of these airports, visitors should reach the railway station using a shuttle bus (or a taxi).
● Milan Linate to Stazione Ferroviaria Milano Centrale (Milan Central railway station) is about 25' and 5 Euro.
● Begamo Orio al Serio to Stazione Ferr. Milano Centrale (Milan Central railway station) is about 45' and 8 Euro.
● Milano Malpensa to Stazione Ferroviaria Milano Centrale (Milan Central railway station) is about 1h and 10 Euro.
● From Bologna airport to Stazione Ferroviaria Bologna Centrale (Bologna Central railway station): 20' and 5 Euro.
● From Milan or Bologna railway station, take the train to Parma railway station. Parma railway station is very close to the city center, however, either a city bus (1.50 Euro) or a taxi is needed to reach one of the hotels.
● The University campus, where the workshop will be held, is outside the city center, but it's well connected by the city bus network to the city center where hotels are located. Please note that since attendees will be using the bus multiple times, it may be convenient to purchase a multiple travel ticket (perhaps 8 travels for 10 euro).
● Bus lines that reach the University Campus are n. 7, 21, and Campus Express. Main bus hubs are the train station and the Ghiaia stop (city center).
● The website to check the bus lines and schedule is:

Accommodation
The city center can be reached in about 15 minutes by bus (bus ticket around 1.50 Euro) or by taxi.
- Hotel Torino is at the very center of the historical part of the city.
- Hotel Toscanini (IBIS) is also at 10' walking distance from the center and directly on a bus line to the campus.
- Using standard hotel or B&B reservation platforms, one may find other 3* or 4* hotels or B&B in the center of Parma
offering similar services and costs. For easier connection with the campus and the city center, we suggest not to book
a hotel or a B&B northern than Parma railway station. Please check Parma Railway Station Map below and have a prior look at the geography
to understand where each hotel is located with respect to the city center and the university campus where the study school
will be held.
